Loads of folk wild swim in avon lagoon in Linlithgow.

Whole blog posts and youtube videos about.

I often walk passed where everyone parks and on good days it is heaving.

Probably a bit too far for you.

Males generally don't have that configuration , that's the dominant configuration for females. Although not the only configuration, for instance XXX occurs at a rate of 0.1% of the time in females and, you also have XX de la chappelle where the phenotype shows male characterisitcs but has the XX genotype.

 

You obviously know a lot more than me about this… I stand corrected!

Kier Starmer unable to answer as to whether women have penises. 

I have a solution, male spaces could be made unisex. So that women. Adult human females always have a choice. Transgender male to female athletes compete in the men's category. Because they are bioligical males. 

Gender self ID. A no go. You can't declassify a treatable medical disorder. No one should be told their body or personality needs changing starting with a statutory declaration. 

The doctor didn't make a mistake. 

I think it's a disgrace that the left have fallen for this woke nonsense. 

The SNP are about to tie themselves in knots over this. The world realises just how dangerous gender ideology is. Its the new Alfetanyl crisis. Chicks with dicks. Men with tits. 

Solidarity with my sisters in the Alba Party. JK Rowling etc. Yvonne Ridley. Caroline McCalister. You name it. Standing up for women! 

Labour and the SNP been done up like a kipper by this nonsense; to lesser extent so have the Lib Dems.  The only mainstream party who haven't are - surprise, suprise - the Tories!  

What an incredible coincidence...

British Nationalists apoplectic as Nicola Sturgeon doesn't wear mask in Westminster Abbey

Why the fuck is she there anyway

On reflection i dont know if i can forgive her for giving drooling Unionists ammunition free gratis

Is she that thick she couldnt foresee the fallout - regardless of it being England she was in

I'm not a member of a club either but there is one that goes to Mugdock Park, Abies Loch first thing in the mornings. Always go with a friend for safety. 

The Campsies are in the background at Abies. It's a great start to your day. 

Check out Wim Hof, the Ice Man. Breathing techniques on YouTube and cold water therapy!

The cold water exposing you to stessors, is good for your mental health. You get a buzz after you come out for the rest of the day. 

I last went February in to a *secret* Waterfall in the Campsies! I can tell you that, I didn't so much as feel like Wim Hof, more Jack from the Titanic, holding onto the wooden plank at the end. I was in for 11 minutes and couldn't feel my toes for well about 111 minutes. You need wetsuit socks! 

You can get a wetsuit from a Glasgow company. LOMO  specialising in wetsuits and waters ports. They are the best value I have seen, and all you need. For as low as £50.

I bought an expensive branded, Rib Curl wetsuit online for £250. It was a mistake. For a number of reasons, it's zipless - avoid. You look like a creature of the deep trying to fight to get into and out of it. And spock from Startrek, Beam me Up Scotty. 

Get one with a zip, get up early, Dive In! Take a temperature gauge, stop watch, and come out before you feel too cold, as your body temperature can continue to drop for about half an hour after you come out, so you can get into trouble. Go with a friend, group, they can tell you if you are looking a bit blue! 

Aparently the Algae can make you ill. I couldn't tell you anything about that I'm afraid. If you see other people in swimming, then I take it, the water is all right! 

It's definitely worth it. You find the people you bump into are all trying it to, escape some crisis in their lives, and are always willing to chat. They might look like they are buzzing, but there's always something deeper. I think the people that join these outdoor swimming groups are good support groups under the surface.

Do you think he's courageous and brave? 

I think he's another scandelous Tory MP looking for a get out of jail free card.

Jamie Wallis, owned a Sugar Daddy Website exploiting Vulnerable young boys and girls. He owned 100 per cent of the company, telling you all about his character. 

In his statement, he says he gets blackmailed for 50K. That tells me whatever he did the blackmailer figured it was disgusting enough to make money from. 

Last year the guy crashes his car, pissed drunk, and flees the scene claiming he had PTSD after being raped. Yea right. 

Transgender my arse. Coming to a women's bathroom near you.

Have you ever been raped?

I don't support men who exploit vulnerable young women for money. 

I once shared a flat with a bright smart middle class girl at Uni. Poor relationship with parents, was an escort. She would come in completely demoralised, which quickly escalated to car meets. Quite openly spoke to me about it. I couldn't believe it. The lassie had a full on alcohol addiction stemming from previous rape trauma. It was really disburting. The flat was a mess. Would crack open cans of slimline gin tonic every morning. Would leave the waffles on in middle of night, doped up on sleeping pills. It got worse, the Sugar Daddy was getting her to pick up packages on his behalf, and the sugar daddy could do no wrong.

I tried to tell her, she was getting used but she shut down. In the end, I moved out after a fall out. I hear she's doing brilliant these days, away from all this. I'm so happy to hear but I don't speak to her anymore. 

If you ask me, I think politically the purchase of prostitution should be criminalised. The sale decriminalised. Websites like only fans shut down. No one goes to Uni to sell their bodies. Surely you go to escape that.

You can't force a business, prostitution, underground, that's already underground. If you look at the criminalised Swedish model of legislation they have less deaths in terms of sex workers compared to Germany, Frankfurt, sin City. These women aren't happy. Coked up and numb! 

99.9 per cent of males commit rape and shouldn't be housed in female jails, no matter how they identify. As men have penises. 

Any green SNP Idiot that says sex work is work, is a idiot. They don't know what it looks like. 

I'll not be falling over to praise this sugar daddy website owning, self Identified Tory bastard any time soon.

Sturgeon asked about Gender Self ID in a 4 minute car crash interview. She lies all the way through it. 

Scottish Pressure Group, For Women.scot fact checks every lie that she tells around Gender Self ID.

For Women.scot:

"Either she is woefully misinformed, or is deliberately misrepresenting the process as “traumatic” to elicit sympathy for the proposed reform."

https://forwomen.scot/20/03/2022/nicola-sturgeon-interview/

I'd also like to share this article. Most of you probably aren't interested. But I'm quite happy to set the record straight. When Nicola and other politicians say trans women are "the most stigmatized group in society." Statistically its not true. It's not even remotely true. Read here below.

https://thecritic.co.uk/neither-marginalised-abused-nor-vulnerable/

I'd also like to share a full comprehensive list of Panelbase polling of the Scottish Public on Gender Self ID. The Scottish Public is overwhelmingly against Gender Self ID. Read here!

https://scotgoespop.blogspot.com/2021/11/and-thats-wrap-here-is-full-list-of.html

The SNP are about to lose the council elections on gender ideology. Unless of course you are Mhairi Black who likes to invite, Flo Job in to read stories to your kids!

Read Here: Calton Jock: "Mhairi Black the scandalous record of the Westminster MP who promotes herself and the LBGTQ agenda to the detriment of other more relevant business Part 1"

I could go on! Denise Findlay has a tremendous blog on Scottish Politics and why gender Self ID matters so much to her. This is her all encompassing and powerful article on the attack on Women's rights in Scotland. https://www.denisefindlay.org/post/be-kind

As for JK Rowling, I read a superb article, I wish I could find it, it would complete my post. I've got a lot of respect for a woman that's sold 500 million copies of books worldwide and has 14 million followers. 

It's along the lines of why, the Trans Radical Aggressors, will never Beat JK Rowling. It was superb. 

Mhairi Black should go back to selling fish suppers! She's not fit to lace JK Rowling's boots! The people of Paisley would get a better response rate if she did!

The SNP can shove their homophobic, sexist, unscientific and harmful gender ideology where the sun doesn't shine. Scotland doesn't want it.

The Alba Party is the Party Standing up for women's rights. Standing up for Independence.

The SNP need Joanna Cherry as next leader. Feminist Freedom fighter, QC. Fighting for Justice and for Independence, and living her best Lesbian life! Nicola can only dream of!

I am not particularly educated on the oil/gas situation but my understanding is the UK government are selling idea the extraction of more gas and oil in the UK will make fuel cheaper for us. Am i right ? 
If so , what is the point if the below is correct? And how long are we talking before oil is extracted? 

‘’Tessa Khan, director of environmental group Uplift, said on Friday that the key to lower fuel bills was renewable energy. 

She said: "Cambo's oil passing from one set of investors to another makes no difference: it is still in private hands and will be sold to the highest bidder, with most of the oil going abroad. 

"Eighty percent of the UK's oil is exported. This isn't our oil. It won't lower our bills. All that's changed is that a different set of investors will get rich."

Caroline Rance, from Friends of the Earth Scotland, said increasing UK oil and gas production would not protect consumers or alleviate the climate emergency.

"The new owners of Cambo will be desperate to profit from their billion-pound gamble meaning that they will be hellbent on selling any oil they might extract to the highest international bidder," she said. "Ithaca would take the profits but the public would bear the risk."

Philip Evans, from Greenpeace, said the UK government should be "doubling down" on renewable energy and "tackling the huge amount of energy waste in the UK".

I don't know what the Tories are claiming about it, but this isn't about reducing the price of oil and gas. It's about security of supply.

I am pretty certain they are claiming cheaper oil and gas.

But that aside, how do timelines of oil extraction compare to us being in a position to produce enough green energy to guarantee sufficient supply  ? Is there a huge time difference ?  Will there never be a time where green energy will be sufficient?
Who will benefit from the oil and gas, ie who will it be sold to and who will financially benefit?  I am not against oil extraction if this site will provide a necessary buffer and be directed to the right areas,  but I would be against it if it was being sold to countries who are doing fook all to reduce their carbon footprint. Call me naive but I think its a bit more than securing supply.

More oil production equals cheaper prices, thats just fact, until we stop importing oil and gas, the uk and Scottish government should encourage more oil production in the north sea

And what are the answers to my timeline questions and where this extra oil will go ?

We export most of our fish but we also import fish. Cheese, even whisky (whiskey), I could go on, it's a big list. It's just the way global markets work.
